A day in the life of Mack Fowers

Swimming Season is here...Dad has been gone 9 out of the last 13 days, but we have swam 3 of the last 4 days. So there!!!

I love this kid so much...his latest is he asks everybody at the pool what there name is...and then he repies, "Mack Fowers"...

Here Comes Summer...

The perfect day for running in the sprinklers...or "sprinkles" as Mack calls it. Brandon will kill me for posting this picture, but I liked it!

Back by popular demand...Mack Moments

Mack where are you??? "Checkin my e-mail"

"Do you have a kid's size drink?" (he yells from the backseat of the car to the drive-thru lady)

"I went pee, I need a potty treat" (as he pees in his pants) we need help! Anyone?

"I need my glasses" (he puts them on, checks himself out on Brandon's car door, and heads down to play with the neighbor kids.)

Who is this kid???

My Big Day...

So I pick Mack up from school...He rushes out holding these adorable homemade flowers in a vase. "Wow...these are beautiful, are they for me", I ask. "No, they are for Dad", he replies. So Typical... The Infamous Flowers










XOXO Our attempt at Mother's Day gifts XOXO

This year for Mother's Day I thought we would do something nice and take some new pics of Mack for the Grandmas. Of course I had the perfect day planned, but Mack had his own plans. It was the perfect overcast day, perfect outfits, everything was perfect except the person in the pictures....Mack. Here are the only salvageable ones.
P.S. Being Perfect Is Overrated! Pretty much explains how the day went...

Happy Mother's Day

My Mom has taught me everything I know...Everything I am and hope to be, I owe it all to my Mom. It has taken me until now to realize how she never gets the credit she deserves. She is always understanding, but never judgemental, hard-working, positive thinker,makes you feel like you can do anything, tough love, beautiful, and fun kinda Mom. She has been there for me always...and made me realize that I can get through anything, no matter how tough. My Mom is an amazing person and I love her so much. She is even a better Maga and I don't know what I would do with out her. So Happy Mother's Day Mom. You deserve nothing but the best.
XOXO, Shan

Spring Break in CA

Mack and I took some much needed time away from the snow and headed to the beach. Poor Brandon was working at home the whole week and couldn't join us... Sorry Babe, but we had a blast. The weather was incredible we seriously spent everyday in the sun. We went to the beach (a few times), went out on the boat in Long Beach, swam in Auntie and Uncle B's pool, played with the dogs, and spent a relaxing weekend in Palm Springs (Thanks again Dad). It was such a fun week. It was not only nice to be in the sun, it was great to spend time with my Family. I know that I get to enjoy the best of Both worlds living in Utah and frequenting CA so often, but every know and then I get a little homesick and miss my family . So this trip was just what I needed. Thanks for all the fun!

Too much fun!!!

breakfast in bed...not too shabby!

Too cute!

Mack needs a dog...

We learned something new this trip. Mack is a great dog-sitter. Auntie Morgs got a new dog "Boss" and Mack wouldn't leave the poor thing alone. He would pick him up and say, "Mom take our picture, he likes me." He told Auntie numerous times,"He's just a baby, you need to be really careful." I kept calling Brandon to inform him how much easier my life would be if Mack had his own dog to take care of. We'll see how convincing I was, his B-day is next month and that is all he wants.

Who says there has to be sun???

So we started Spring Break this year by Grandpa and Maga coming to our house. It was a little snowing, but I wouldn't expect anything less from good old Utah. Mack finished up his 3 week private swimming lessons, so they couldn't stand to miss that. I am so proud of him he has become an amzing little swimmer. Of course, Grandpa couldn't be here without making it up American Fork Canyon...so we ventured up for a little fishing one day. Yes it was snowing, but that didn't stop them from catching a fish. Mack's first fish by the way!!! We had a great time and hope they visit again soon. Hint.Hint.

So happy with Grandpa and Maga
